Local Float and Territorial
Concentrates.

The following is an extract from
letter, in the Salmon City Recorder,
from Nicholia, in this Territory: "The
universal testimony of experienced
miners is that the Viola extension is
the best mine in camp or that has
been developed anywhere in the sur
rounding country. Thousands, nay
tens of thousands of dollars are In
plain view. AS far as we can ascer-
tain it is the largest body OF ore In
sight in Idaho. A fair average OF
the richness of the mineral upon the
dump was taken but few days since,
and the result showed 81 per cent. OF
lead and Is per cent. of silver. The
Viola company has claimed little
strip on the north end of this mine.
Whether they will continue to ad-
here to such claim is not now known.
The Viola company have been de-
Tending their possession of late by
keeping armed men in their shaft
There is no competition here. The
Viola company have it all their own
way. Another smelter was built at
Spring Mountain, but the Viola peo'
pie leased it and closed it up SO as to
enjoy a monopoly. No one disputes
their right to have done SO. Theil
lease expires next spring.

WIN. OLIVER and T. R. Barry came
down last Friday from their mine on
Summit Flat, at the head of the East
Fork of Elk creek. They have sunk
a shaft to the depth of twenty-five
feet, and the vein continues the
same size, and carries the same grade
of ore, as at the surface. The pay
vein is six or eight inches thick.
They brought down several specimens
in which gold is plainly visible. One
was chunk taken out the entire
width of the vein. The shaft was
sunk on the hanging wall. Then
next work will be to run a ross'cu'
to the foot wall with the expectation
of tapping another pay vein' The.
will return this week.

RYe Meal for Pollen.

An old bee keeper says that in locali-
ties where willows and hazel do not
abound it is well to feed bees with rye
meal, as it is a good substitute for pollen,
which is the main ingredient in the bee
bread, on which young bees are fed. Rye
meal, when fed, especially in late springs,
stimulates brood-rearing, and enables
colonies to send out earlier and stronger
swarms. 1t should be placed in shallow
tIoughs or pans a rod or more from the
hives, where it will soon be found by the
bees, and gathered eagerly 10y them.
No business can succeed in the long
run which does not give a fair profit,
Without going wild over the reports of
the immense profits realized in few in
stances from keeping bees, there seems
no doubt that when taken up as a rcgu-
lar business, and intclligcntly pursued
from year to year, it will pay profit as
large as most other callings. Possibly,
for few years those already in the busi-
ness and following it with energy, may
make a larger profit than most rural in
dustries give. But this will not continue
long. Labor and capital will flow in this
direction until profits are equalized.

At the West Point Riding Hall.

1t is accounted ''great fun" to witness
the first rides of the yearlings, so we will
90 down there and laugh at their mis-
haps. Mounting the stairs to the gallery,
we look down upon large space strewn
with tanbark, at one end of which is n
row of some twenty horses with watering
brides. Soon the performers file in and
come to a halt in front of the horses. Do
they intend to ride with only watering
bride, without even a saddle or blanketl
They will try to, at all events. The
instructor commands: "Stand to horse
Prepare to mount. Mountm. In
obedience to his command the cadets
spring, struggle, leap and kick in their
efforts to bestride their horses. The mo-
ment they are mounted several horses
develop astonishing bucking propensities,
to the anguish of their riders and the de-
light of the gallery. Now they start
around the hall at a walk. 1t seems
rather tame, doesn't it? But soon the
command, "Trot" is given, and the
fun begins. The poor fellows bounce
about on the horses backs like india rub
Der boys, and wabble from side to side
like jumping jacks. The trot is
accelerated, the horses take the
gallop, and dash around the hall, tum-
bling their riders in heaps at the corners,
while those who by chance are still
mounted grasp trantically at their horses
names. Finally the gait is reduced to a
walk, line is formed. the dismOunted
yearlings, nothing daunted, catch their
horses and remount, and then the per-
formance is repeated. If we had visited
the gymnasium and fencing academy in
in the morning we should have seen sec
Z tiOns of the Fourth Glass exercising un-
der rigid system of instruction.; and il
| from there we had gone to the riding hall
/ at the hour of tirst-class attendance we
| should have seen exhibited the high de-
gree of muscular skill and activity to
/ which the system of training in gymna-
stun and riding hall brings cadets. Fol
First Glass cadets ride like Indians. 1t
is immaterial to them whether they have
a saddle or blanket or ride bareback.
They leap hurdles, go through the sabre
exercise, aud are adopts at pistol prac-
tice; they mount, dismount, vault theiI
horses and pick up articles from the
ground, all while at full speed; they ride

Street Bands in the Metropolis.

The increase OF uniformed street bands
is beginning to attract attention. Their
performance is almost entirely confined
to the more popuious districts, but once
in a while they favor the aristocratic
localities. One beld is very neatly and
showily dressed, and numbers nine
pieces. 1t has leader who affects Gil
morean pyrotechnics with his baton, and
who receives the cap collections of the
bassoon. This baud is capable of solos,

Soil For Plants.

Some plants, like the fuchsia, prefer
leaf mould to any other soil you can give
them, but do not have any difficulty in
growing most kinds of plants in COM
post, which is generally more convenient
to get at than genuine leaf mould is. 1t
is my practice to mix turfy loam-which
/ get by turning over sod in old pastures,
and shaving off that part of it which Is full
of the fibrous roots of the grass-garden
mould and manure preferably that from
q yard where cows have been kept-well
together, and add sand, as l pot my
plants, putting in more or less, according
TO the strength of the roots on the plant l
am potting. The proportion is about one
third each of turfy matter, loan and
manure. Small-rooted plants will do
better in a soil made quite light with
sand than they will in close and heavy
one, while roses require but little sand
in the soil they grow in, as their roots
are strong.
1t is necessary that the manure used
should be well-rotted. That which is
fresh is not good for plants, and | would
sooner go without any than to nse it.
That which is n year old will be so de.
composed as to crumble apart readily,
and that is the kind to use
Most amateurs do not seem to consider
it worth while to pay much attention tC
the item of sand, but they ought to dc
so if they would grow plants well. On

FurrIer's Collie

Furrier's collie is becoming fatal dis
ease, il what local furrier tells me
amounts to anything. 1t is contracted
by working on fine furs and in inhaling
the small particles which rise from them.
These particles accumulate in the lungs
and stomach, and when once they are in
hailed it is impossible to rid oneself of
them. They are liable to cause con-
sumption or cancer of the stomach. Said
my friend, the furrier: at is impossible
for one to work on furs over six months
at n time and not be affected. It's very
lucky for furriers that their season is not
long one. To be sure when they work
six months they receive but six months
pay, but they have n chance TO live
longer than they would were they obliged
to work all the year around. Brass buff
ing is similar to working on furs, The
small particles of brass get into q mans
lungs and cause an incurable disease. -

Weed Out the Flock.

This is the best season for classif-
cation of ewes and disposing of the
poorest. BY this time correct judg-
ment of the lamb or lambs reared by each
eve can be formed; and the weight of
each fleece is also known. The profit
ableness of n eve depends upon the num-
Der and quality of the lambs she raises,
her weight of wool, etc. One eve may
raise lamb while another loses hers; yet
the former will shear such poor fleece
that she is really the less profitable. The
loss of a lamb often occurs through no
fault of the eve. Nevertheless, prolific
acy is a desirable quality in eve. A
good eve properly treated before and
after weaving. can rear two good lambs
without injury to herself Some ewes
are better morhers than others.
1t certainly will not rs profitable
to keep the inferior sheep through
next winter If the classification is
made now, the rejected class can be
made ready for market on grass; which
makes the cheapest Iiesh. Many farmers
will find the most profitable market for
these culls on their own farms. Truly
there is a prejudice among consumers
against aged ewes. But this is chiefly
owing to the fact that such are often put
upon the market in poor condition. A
lean sheep does not make good mutton,
whatever its age. 1t is not claimed that
fattening an old eve will make her yield
the best mutton; but it may be made
good and palatable, When the ewes are
culled out every year, there will be soon
no very old ones. This is not the season
for the consumption of salt pork; and all
things considered, mutton will be good
thing for the farmers larder.

How to Raise Peonies.

All peonies love water, and principally
the herbaccous sorts, which ought not to
lack it, not only from the moment when
the flower buds commence to form till
they have perfected their flowers, but
also from the beginning Of August, con
tinuing until the rains of autumn, to
favor the production at the base of the
stem of strong eyes capable of yielding
vigorous flowers in the following season.
To secure the Towering of peonies in full
perfection it is essential to place them in
very open positions, but where they may
not receive the sun during the hottest
part of the day. When the peonies have
become strong, and the ground has been
exhausted by them, it is indispensable to
take them up and separate them, presery-
ing for planting portions having two or
three strong roots, and change their po-
sition this operation should take place
every five or six years. As a general
rule, when the flowers become few and
diminish in size the roots should be trans
ferred to fresh soil. In the case Of certain
varieties it is beneficial, when the young
stems are rising in spring, to take away
the weakest, leaving only those which
are more vigorous. The propagation OF
peonies is easy. All of them may be in,
creased by division, and the best time fol
/ this operation is when they commence Il
die down. A large plant may be cut tintC
three CT four portions, but it is importan
| not to divide them into very small bits
] as these are apt TO perish during the sum
mer. Replant quickly and firmly, enrich
ing the soil if il is at all poor with well
decayed manure. After having put tn
peonies in the places they are to beautify
/ give each clump a thorough watering
which will give them a god start in life

Why Does Paper Turn Yellow!

Professor Wiesner, a well-known Ger
man savant, has been making a series of
very interesting and useful experiments
on this subject, with the result that he
now contends that the yellowing of paper
is due to an oxidation determined by
light and especially by the more re-
frangible rays. This discoloration is more
striking in wood papers than in rag
papers. He also found that dry air is an
other most important condition for the
preservation of paper One Of his con
clusions is very interesting, this being
that in libraries the electric light is in
ferior to gas on account of the large pro
portion of the more refrangible rays
present in the former. This is au i'm
portant matter, and one that deserves
further inquiry. ChGmJers's Journal

The Fear of the Dead in China.

The great overruling superstitions of
China are, however, the fear of the dead
and the belief in Feng Shut. The latter
word means literally ''wind and water"
and seems to typify both the good and
the baneful influences of physical phe-
nomena. 1t is the existence of these two
superstitions which really forms the bar
rier to progress in China, because they
interfere with the reception of foreign
ideas and the development of industrial
projects in mining, railway making, and
so forth. Feng- Shut is defined, says the
Roman Catholic Bishop of Ningpo, as the
"path of the Great Dragon, who rushes
through the air Just above the houses,
spouting blessings in showers from his
nostrils. He flies straight forward, un-
less by evil chance he should strike
against some high building, in which
case he turns aside at an angle, and so
the houses beyond loose their share OF
his blessing Hence the jealous care Of
the Chinese house-builders lest any one
should build house higher than his
neighbor, and the singular uniformity OF
domestic architecture"
The fear of the dead leads to the most
| slavish form of ancestor worship, and the
first three weeks of April are specially
devoted to the service Of the shades. At
that time every one visits the graves OF
| his relations with offerings, carried in
/ travs or in baskets. The cost of these
annual services and offerings to the dead
/ is estimated by Miss Gordon Cumming
10 be not less than thirty-two millions
sterling, all TO propitiate the spirits OF
! those whose graves cover the country
and who are believed to be powerful fol
evil if neglected. The dead are ever
honored by the bestowal Of new titles i
there is reason for distinguishing
. them. -.AUt Year Round.

FARM AND GARDEN.


With the slanting tooth harrows all the
small weeds may be destroyed in corn
until the plants are six or eight inches
high, and without pulling up enough to
damage the crop. This plan is better
adapted to corn in drills than in hills.
1t is generally drilled too thickly, so that
the occasional pulling up of stalk by a
drag-tooth makes the crop better. II the
field is soddy or stony, and the corn be
planted in hills, it is possible that an en-.
tire hill may bo taken, and this would
leave too wide vacancy on either side.
But the adjoining hills would ear better,
so there would be little loss of grain even
in such n case.
